How much does a home extension cost in Bathgate?

Plan for roughly £18,000–£63,500 for a home extension in Bathgate, before any premium finishes. Scottish costs generally sit below the UK average — West Lothian labour and materials are a real factor. The biggest cost drivers are single vs double storey and floor area, foundations and structural work, and planning, glazing and finish quality. Getting two or three quotes is the best way to see a fair local price, which is exactly what our free matching service arranges.
